THE REGIME OF FACTIONS.

THE REGIME OF FACTIONS.
The recent utterances Of GenI Glib
son. in. an interview with Shreveport
Times reporter, furnish conclusive
proof that the Louisiana Democracy is
itself into two factions-the
Nichols faction, and the McEnery fac
ton. A faction differs from party.
A faction has no principles. 1t is gov-
erned alone by personality, passion and
prejudice. It is clear that neither of
these factions has or can have the good
of the party or Of the country at heart.
They are engaged in deadly personal
fight and to win they would split the
party and ruin the country. A faction
list is never patriot aud he is still less
a true Democrat.
The Telegraph again sounds the
alarm to all good citizens and lovers OF
the Democratic party and constitutional
government in Louisiana. The leaders
of these reckless factions have no other
motto but tsrule or ruin." They will
embitter the fight and stir up turmoil
in order that they may win in the con-
fusion and excitement. They will send
contesting delegations to the nominate
ing convention and tear the peoples
party in twain! They will rob and
cheat each other at the primaries and,
alas it may be, imbrue their hands in
fraternal blood to do what? Not to
save the State! Not to serve the peo-
pie, but to elect their man!
Will not such fratricidal warfare
disgrace our grand old party and ruin
our fair State, morally and materially
Is there any necessity for such a
contest?
We think it may be said without
treason that our State has many men
who are the equals of McEnery aud
Nichols in every respect. Does any,
body deny that? We have ADLER law
yers than either of them. We have
much better scholars than either and
finer orators in abundance. We have
Democrats, as true and tried, who have
shown themselves infinitely superior
to McEnery and Nichols in the man.
agement of business affairs. Why not
honor some of these men? Can the
supporters of either of the factioual
candidates give US a reason why the
harmony of the party should not be
consulted? 1t has not been long ago,
in the dark days when Louisiana lay
PROSTATE in the dust OF oppression, that
harmony and concord were our watch.
words and ral1ying cry. Gentlemen,
you preached harmony then-why not
do it now.
This is the Teiegraph's sylIogism
The nomination of either Nichols
or McEuery will disrupt the party
which is the greatest evil that could
befall all classes of our people in the
spring OF 1888. We have plenty OF
men, who are, to say the least, as good
as either Nichols or McEnery, and
whose nomination will unite the party
and insure quiet and victorious cam
paign.
The conclusion is inevitable that we
should take a third mana non fac
tionai man who claims the position
not merely OH personal grounds, but in
the interest Of the party and the good
OF the country.

BATON ROUGE,
Our clever fellow-citizen, Mr.. John

for which he received a patent last

but that it reuders the setting of a
